The bitter winter afflicting much of the Northern Hemisphere is only the start of a global trend towards cooler weather that is likely to last for 20 or 30 years, say some of the world’s most eminent climate scientists.Their predictions – based on an analysis of natural cycles in water temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – challenge some of the global warming orthodoxy’s most deeply cherished beliefs, such as the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice insummer by 2013.According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007 – and even the most committed global warming activists do not dispute this.

"... in 2009, when the plateau was already becoming apparent and being discussed by scientists, he told a colleague in one of the Climategate emails:‘Bottom line: the “no upward trend” has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.’ "

<quoted text>Oh, I do. I listen to Dr. Phil:"... in 2009, when the plateau was already becoming apparent and being discussed by scientists, he told a colleague in one of the Climategate emails:‘Bottom line: the “no upward trend” has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.’ "

As there is an upward trend, no one is worried.

The morons at Wattsup are excited, in the same way that they were excited about the Arctic sea ice "recovery".

They will be disappointed again when we see temperature records fall.

Phil Jones says warming hasn't stopped and he's right.

David Rose thought we going to see cooling and he was wrong. He thought the sea ice was recovering and he was wrong. He thought warming had stopped and he was wrong.

Warming goes on. Remember who told you. The same person that told you the sea ice recovery was bullshit.

FROM THE SOURCE:Met Office in the Media: 14 October 2012

An article by David Rose appears today in the Mail on Sunday under the title:‘Global warming stopped 16 years ago, reveals Met Office report quietly released… and here is the chart to prove it’To address some of the points in the article published today:Firstly, the Met Office has not issued a report on this issue. We can only assume the article is referring to the completion of work to update the HadCRUT4 global temperature dataset compiled by ourselves and the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit.

We announced that this work was going on in March and it was finished this week. You can see the HadCRUT4 website here.

The linear trend from August 1997 (in the middle of an exceptionally strong El Nino) to August 2012 (coming at the tail end of a double-dip La Nina) is about 0.03°C/decade, amounting to a temperature increase of 0.05°C over that period, but equally we could calculate the linear trend from 1999, during the subsequent La Nina, and show a more substantial warming.The below graph which shows years ranked in order of global temperature was not included in the response to Mr Rose, but is useful in this context as it illustrates the point made above that eight of the warmest years on record have occurred in the past decade.http://metofficenews.files.wordpress.com/2012...http://metofficenews.wordpress.com/category/m...

As usual, the denier blogs will spread anything all over the universe without going to the source.

Of course, their present interpretation of, "Go nature" is "go away, nature', get rid of the ice, so we can steam all over the Arctic & fish, hunt, kill, exploit, deplete, & pollute to our heart's content..... with the godly blessings of the Heartland(sorry 'bout that.... heartland.... better yet.... cut the 'heart out without the godly blessings')

<quoted text>.....especially your armchair expertise & pontificating, And the rest of your goon squad's scientific & climate ignorance.Still not walking the walk yet, I see. All hot air. Are you & the ignorant goon squad the cause of mmcc that you are so ardently fighting with your keyboard? lol.

Well than show us your work the cut and paste thing you do is old. Looks like your stumbling not walking.My armchair expertise never makes climate errors unlike you so called experts.Try again.

But ... but ... I thought the upward trend was BAD, and we should ALL be worried to the point of throwing trillions of scarce public money away on carbon elimination pipe-dreams, and all go back toweaking hand-made Birkenstocks and living in yurts, reading by the fading light of windmills and solar bird genocide machines, and biking to the store.

Now you're saying no one is worried because there IS an upward trend.

How's a body to keep straight what planet-ending catasrophe to be irrationally frightened of?

Climate change crisis would have been a virtual “comet hit” of an emergency if it had been true,(Since nothing besides nuclear war could be worse-deny that please?) and it has turned out obviously to not be the crisis science claimed it “might” have been.

-IF it were a crisis the world would be in a global emergency status and the millions of people in the global scientific community would be leading the mission to deal with a climate crisis and probable death of their own children, not just ours. -If it were a crisis the news of this coming crisis would be the leading tag on social media and at the top of the news casts and not at the bottom. -The UN would have issued TV commercials and issued posters and bumper stickers because a little climate crisis is impossible.

The exaggeration of climate change was astounding and history is already calling this CO2 madness; climate control omen worship; “I see the signs of change. The change is all around us…. We must please the angry weather gods.”

<quoted text>...And just one small question for you why is it do you think, that Dr. Jones finds the prospect of observing the global warming trend halting something to be "WORRIED" about?Curious choice of words, n'est-ce pas?

The thought is that the slowing down of the warming trend for a few years is simply noise in the ever climbing upward direction. This gives the deniers a false sense that the warming is over when it actually is not. The "worry" is that the political pressures will be such that action is shelved and the problem is not taken at face value.
